5 out of 5 “Awesome experience”

Caroline B – March 30, 2017

As promised we were greeted at the airport and transferred on a private car to the hotel. The hotels selected by Tanzania Expedition were clean, comfortable and well maintained. Our Safari driver Emmanuel was the best. Great sense of humor, and very knowledgeable about the area , the animals, the floral . Thanks to him we were able to see hundreds of species including the big five. Ask for him !!! Than our real expedition began with Justin and his crew on our way to conquer Kilimanjaro. I cannot say enough compliments about Justin and his crew. They are simply amazing , how they do this week after week it’s just incredible. They made sure we were safe at all times and most importantly encouraged us all the way to the top. It was an awesome experience
